Description
Breakfast Burrito Wraps are a hearty and versatile morning meal combining fluffy scrambled eggs, savory cooked sausage or bacon, sautéed vegetables, and melty shredded cheese all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. These burritos are ideal for busy mornings since they can be made ahead, stored in the freezer, and easily reheated for a convenient, satisfying breakfast.
Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onion
Protein
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, or diced ham
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
Wraps
- 6–8 large flour tortillas
Additional Optional Fillings
- Cooked potatoes
- Black beans
- Salsa
- Avocado
Cooking Fat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until they are softened but still vibrant.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally to scramble the eggs, until they are just set but still moist.
- Add Protein: Stir in the cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, or diced ham to combine thoroughly. Remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking the eggs.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Add Egg Mixture and Optional Fillings: Spoon the warm egg and meat mixture over the cheese on each tortilla. Add any optional ingredients like cooked potatoes, black beans, salsa, or avocado as desired.
- Wrap Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from one end to fully enclose the filling, forming neat burritos.
- Serve or Store: Serve the burritos warm immediately, or wrap individually in foil to store for later use or freezing.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking the eggs during scrambling as they will continue to cook slightly when wrapped in the warm tortillas.
- Cool burritos completely before wrapping tightly and freezing to maintain texture and taste.
- Reheat frozen or refrigerated burritos wrapped in foil in the oven, or unwrap and microwave them for a quicker option.
- Flour tortillas are preferred for wrapping as they are pliable and less likely to tear compared to corn tortillas.
